Yup one of franks jpf, one of ian's hth or one of martin mjw loved the 6v6 roadstar I had of his 1x12 most toneful amp I've owned (excusing the current orion mjw)

Well he hasn't set a budget, so maybe he can afford it!

Damn, so many suggestions! :D

I live in the US, but if I find something on the bay, who knows!

TONE: I'd love to have an amp that can get to that compressed "crunch" all on its own, mid-gain heaven, if possible. Whatever the amp can't do on its own, I can always boost. In the end, I'd rather have an AMAZING clean tone than a slightly-not-as-good mid-gain tone.

Budget, hmm... $1000?

I was also looking at Port City's new smaller combos...

I love my Cornell Romany Plus. The Swart Spacetone is also a cutie.
